2007-01-07T07:40:00.000-05:00

China town, Ottawa, holds a special place in my heart. It had been my home and residence for a year and a half and will continue to be so for another 4 months (does anyone wanna sublet the place from me in the summer?).In Chinatown the city turkeys roam free, living off of human waste (the stuff we throw out, not the stuff that comes out of us). You can almost walk up and punt them, they no

Hello. Well I'm in the final stretch for this semester. I have 3 papers due this mon. and tues (3 all together). One of them is pretty much done. The other two are gonna be tough going. One is 3 pages long but worth 40% while the other when is 15 pages long but with 1.5 spacing. I have some trippy teachers this semester.Other then that it's the same old procrastination with a bit of last minute

I was suprised that some family members gave me various comments about my look. For instance I was told that I looked like a biker with my pony tail and beard. Someone else said I looked Amish. So there you have it, I look like an amish biker? Anyways, I've taken

I would like to juxtapose my last post with this one about some wonderful purchases I made (I would point out that I consider these purchases an investment in art). The first purchase was Dune. I'm surprised that many people don't know about Dune (in this case I am referring to the book). Since I haven't finished it, the only way I can explain it to people is with the following: "Dune is to

So I will be a busy boy. Also they can't really pay me student wage, so I'll get a modest pay increase of 30% (if my math is right) and I think I'll be joining the unionized workers of the world (Singing: '

OK, this time a serious, serious post. I recently read the Gospel of Judas (pdf). I found it really intresting. I'm thinking of picking up some of the other gnostic gospels.

I hope you can all allow me to indulge in a serious post. I would like to blog about 'spiritual abuse'. Now before I get started I would like to clarify that I don't really like the term spiritual abuse. It implies that 'spiritual abuse' is on the same level as physical, emotional, sexual and verbal abuse. I think that with some exceptions, spiritual abuse is on a lower plain then the other forms

I went like a day and a half without internet and it feels like forever. For somereason our wireless network stopped working so I had to buy a ethernet cord. Being the typical man, I didn't bother to measure anything, I just went out and bought the biggest cord the store had (100 ft). So 40 dollars later I realize I could have bought a 50 ft cord for $10 less and spend that $10 on a small hawiain

looks like I was going pretty crazy last night. oh well got it done... now think of somthing intresting to talk about! I've got nothing in my life, so why don't we start with a corporation spotlight.Coca-Cola, as most people know, this is my favortie soft drink, very delicious and helps when studying late nights as the caffine and sugar give a buzz that I believe to be better then coffee. But

ya, so five cups of coffee and a caffine pill were not enough. i'm going to bed, i'll get up at 7 and try to continue this bad boy. Why am I telling you guys this? no one cares about my homework life... well... my home work life is the only life I have. I'm not even cool enough to be a geek anymore.

2005-11-07T19:44:00.000-05:00

So I'm on my second cup of coffee and stare-ing at a blank Word document (or at least i was) and trying to get pumped to do this assignment which is due tomorrow (it's only worth 15%). Like all my assignments this semester, i've left it till the night before because I knew that it would cause me to think and thinking sucks. Anyways, because of the bereavment group I'm in, I can get a letter

Today is special. Today I'm trying somthing new (food wise). Now people who know me know that I am renouned for my like of trying new things. pizza is my staple and anything in between is just filler till the next pizza. Anyways the other day My mom bought me New England Clam Chowder. I'll be honest, I think it's going to be gross. But i'm deterimened to try it.(maybe by watching my favorite new

When I only post like once a week it means that things are going pretty good)anyways I've learned that when i'm feeling emo not to post anything about it on the net, cause i'll spill my guts, and once someone reads it, you can't really take it back.I miss the Parslow road days.

2005-11-03T09:58:00.000-05:00

so last night was interesting! I've started going to IS (international Socialists). THey are marxists socialists (in a basic form- they want socialism which will eventually become communisim). I personally am not sure If I ascribe to this type of socialism, I guess I kinda feel like I'm more a democratic socialists (like the NDP). BUt anyways, thats all side notes. Before I wen to the meeting I

So I came across this site and it 100% sums up my experiences from last year. (well maybe not 100%, i'm a little more bitter then most).anyways, kids, please, just say no to campus crusade for christ. It's worse then bible college (and that is hard for me to say!). You'll thank me in the long run!

so i'm doing a project (basically a chapter summary) out of my social research text book. the author is discussing stratification sampling. He gives an example of doing a study with 'eskimos'. I thought social workers were supposed to be a little more up to date with these things. although he is an american author, maybe thats still acceptable down there, i dunno.so tired, why do I take so much

I have an exam tomorrow morning and I think I might actually bomb this one. It's for a class that I watch online (i have two online classes, they are also the first things to get neglected when I get busy). If I bomb this one then I'll have to drop it, which isn't so bad.... excpet the $500 or so that I will be loosing. Anyways, Hinduism and Buddhism, I must learn you fully by tomorrow at 10am,

2005-10-25T23:42:00.000-04:00

So I've been downloading some classic punk albulms. I've already go most of the Operation Ivy stock, but tonight was special. Tonight I started downloading Smash and Ixnay On The Hombre by the offspring (before they became what they are now). Let me tell ya folks, this takes it back. The songs are simple, and to be honest, not overly intelligent, perfect for the 14-18 year old. Your basic "let me

so as you can see I updated my header a little bit. I probablby went a little heavy in the over-indulgence, but i'm sure i'll change it in a month anyways. I've let the beard grow out (although I realize that it hardly qualifies as a beard, it does do a very good job at hiding my double.triple chin) i've also got a few more holes in my body with metal through them and I havn't cut my hair in

So last night was interesting. I was waiting to hear about this party (which never happened because the girl who was having the party forgot about it and went home for the weekend). And this guy phones for one of my roomates (garret, the roomate, has a lot of connections with people who are/were either on ontario works, or homeless, etc). And i say 'sorry garret's not here, so the guy invites me

I have a need to talk to ppl today. only because I have a test (a mini mid-term) tomorrow, and I hate studying. It should be an intresting exam. We only have 2 questions to answer and it's totally open ended, so you need to know your stuff but theres plenty of room for personal examples and knowledge from other classes to help get you marks. (It's for political economy and social work). should be
